Well, the cocaine's on the kitchen counter,
I left it there last night, was in a hurry to catch my flight home to Beverly
And, I know I left a mess behind if you'll put it all away
I don't want your family to think less of me
I gotta run to California
I heard the rain is on its way to Tennessee
If the storm clouds come, and I'm still here
I guess I should've warned ya,
I haven't seen the rain since I left Georgia
Well, I've given up the drugs, not marijuana
It's harder to avoid than just give in
And, I dance along the fires that try to burn this city down
The rain won't come to put it out
I gotta run to California
I heard the rain is on its way to Tennessee
If the storm clouds come, and I'm still here
I guess I should've warned ya,
I haven't seen the rain since I left Georgia
And I'm off the ground before the rain,
It clouds my mind
When the thunder comes,
The lightning strikes my pride
I found hope in this hotel room
And while the angels paint the sky
I fall asleep with Georgia on my mind
I had to run to California
I know the rain has made its way to Tennessee
If the storm clouds come, and I'm still here
Well, mama, I'll pray for ya
I haven't seen the rain since I left Georgia
No, I haven't seen the rain since I left Georgia
